Combat Maid Harem

Chapter 896 Proposal 9 of 13

Lawrend stood up and walked towards Grape. His footsteps were light but heavy on the heart.

Grape's heart tensed as various possibilities ran through her mind. Her hair stood on end, and her tail looked like a frightened kitten.

"It doesn't matter."

Lawrend embraced Grape's body. Her fragile body felt warm to Lawrend. She was the weakest among his maids.

Her early years had been unfavorable, to say the least. She grew up impoverished and eventually settled as a prostitute in a brothel.

When she met Lawrend, she was already way past the years to take full advantage of her natural talent. As time passed, the soul of a mortal like her slowly weakened, making it harder to improve with her age.

Hearing his heartfelt words, Grape shed tears of happiness. She embraced him back and felt like she was such a baby.

She was surrounded by his other maids, all of whom were great women with powerful and unique abilities. Her heart naturally worried that he would throw her away, especially after the whole drama with Humility.

"Why?" Grape asked as tears streamed down her face. Her tail hung low, mimicking her emotions.

"I already knew. You missed the perfect opportunity. Additionally, I can help you now that I'm a God. With a few tricks, you can become a Heaven Mage at the very least."

Lawrend stared into her eyes. His soft expression and kind words touched deep into Grape's heart. Her tail wagged like a dog, and she thrust herself to his chest, hugging him once more.

Grape pressed the side of her face against his bosom. She smiled happily as more tears flowed.

'Ahh… So this is true happiness…'

Grape recalled a few unhappy memories, and they were all washed away by the flood Lawrend created.

After a few minutes, Lawrend tapped on her shoulder.

Grape pulled herself back and carefully stood in front of him. Her prim and proper appearance couldn't hide the dried tears, but it showed her stance.

"I'm ready, Master."

Grape stared expectantly. She calmed her heart and looked into his eyes.

Lawrend smiled and half-kneeled. He moved his fingers apart, and two gold rings appeared. They sparkled despite the darkness enveloping the room.

"Will you marry me, Grape?"

"Yes! Yes, Master!" Grape answered excitedly.

She kneeled before him and embraced him. Lawrend took this time to put the gold ring on her finger. Stay updated via empire

"You have a heart of gold, Grape."

The two of them stared at her hand, now sparkling with gold. It suited her perfectly and earned her additional beauty points.

"Master…"

Grape's heart fluttered high into the heavens. She leaned forward and gave him a soft kiss on the lips.

It was short, but it was impactful.

"I will always be your little kitten, Master."

Grape left the room with a newfound courage.

Lawrend's words lifted her spirit up and washed away all her doubts.

After Grape left, silence took over the whole room. It was pitch black, and a soft sigh echoed. It was unknown where it came from.

Lawrend's eyes shot open as he looked around him.

"It's just my imagination…"

According to the order, the next was supposed to be Valentina. However, she was dead, and there was no clear way to revive her.

A door appeared beside Lawrend. He opened it to the top of the tree, reaching the heavens in his world. A young branch extended through the door as the wind blew.

"Will you marry me, Valentina?" Lawrend asked no one.

The branch seemed to nod, but it was clearly caused by the wind raging below. Nevertheless, Lawrend put the amber ring on the branch like it was a finger.

"I know you're somewhere out there, Valentina," Lawrend whispered.

It was nothing but hope. Lawrend recalled the Creator's words. He said that it might be possible to revive Valentina since she left a leaf for him.

"What kind of powers will it take?"

Despite the seemingly omniscient mind granted to him since he became a God, Lawrend couldn't fathom how he would go about it. Death and the Soul were two elusive concepts he knew nothing about.

Well, he knew a little about the soul, but that was a drop in the ocean compared to its complexity.

Lawrend stared in a daze for a few minutes. He regained himself after sensing Ramiela waiting for him outside the door.

'You can enter, Ramiela.'

Lawrend took advantage of his ability to communicate with his angel.

Ramiela stepped inside the room. She frowned at the darkness.

Light burst from her golden hair and filled the room with color.

She found her God half kneeling before her.

"G-G-God!? What are you doing!?"

Sometimes, Ramiela could be clueless about her surroundings. She still hadn't realized what happened to the others. So when she saw Lawrend about to propose, she panicked.

She ran to his side and tried to lift him up.

"What are you doing?" Lawrend asked.

"N-No! You can't, Master! I don't dare make you do this to me…"

Ramiela's eyes darted around as her heart tightened from fear.

"Ramiela?"

"Y-yes!?"

Ramiela flinched and straightened her back. She stared forward, not daring to look him in the eye.

"Relax and stand in front of me."

"Yes…"

Ramiela didn't know what was going on. She followed his orders as it was her desire to do so.

She stood in front of him, still facing forward.

"Ramiela, look at me."

Ramiela closed her eyes in response. She slowly cranked her head down and opened her eyes.

In the next moment, she understood everything. All the clues snapped in her head.

"Will you marry me, Ramiela?"

"W-w-w-w-w-w-w-what!? Why is my position being demoted!?"

"HUH!? Marrying you will demote your position!?" Lawrend retorted in disbelief.

He stared at her and tried to understand what was going on inside of her head.

"I-I-Isn't Master satisfied with me being his angel???" Ramiela asked as question marks seemed to start appearing over her head.

"You will be my angel AND wife!"
